This Y.U.M version of nasi goreng is not the most authentic… it is, however, an easy, fast and tasty weeknight meal that’s suitable for the whole family. You might notice a few sneaky beans in the photo above. I’ve omitted these from the recipe as fresh green beans have suddenly shot up in price since I took the photo! This […]

With lots of interesting textures and flavours, this chicken, broccoli and cranberry salad makes a nice change from your usual salad. This is a really easy meal that’s ready in just 20 minutes. You could leave out the chicken and serve it as a side salad too. The cranberries add a nice touch for the upcoming festive season! […]

This fish on creamy risotto is a simple but delicious meal that has a restaurant feel to it. The risotto is amazingly easy yet turns out so well! Making risotto in the oven is a fairly new thing for me – I wish I’d tried it sooner! You’ll have plenty of time to prepare the fish and asparagus while the […]

These steak summer rolls are packed full of juicy rump steak, saucy noodles and fresh veggies, paired with an irresistible peanut dipping sauce. I’m not normally the biggest fan of fresh spring rolls (I usually find them packed with too many veggies and not enough sauce), so I’ve made sure this version is full of yummy ingredients and satisfying enough […]

Creamy, flavoursome butter chicken isn’t the most authentic of curries but always goes down a treat in our household. This recipe is a great alternative to the takeaway version. You might be pleasantly surprised at how easy this butter chicken is to make. We think it tastes a lot nicer than any of those packet sauces too. Give it a […]

These bunless veggie burgers are a lower carb meal packed full of nutritious ingredients. A great Meatless Monday option! These burgers might look like a light meal but they’re deceptively filling. For bigger appetites, you could serve in a bun or with a side of fries instead of edamame beans. You’ll need to have pretty sturdy lettuce leaves to be […]

These delicious chicken fajita bowls use rice instead of wraps for an easy, family-friendly Mexican meal. This recipe works just as well with sliced beef rump steak (though I would replace the chicken stock with beef stock). The chicken and veggie mixture is a little more saucy than if you were to have them in tortillas – I thought the […]

The flavour of this easy Chinese fried rice is similar to what you get from a takeaway shop. I’ve added some extra veggies and brown rice for better nutrition, and frankfurters for their yummy taste! This is a quick and easy meal that’s perfect for throwing together after a long day. Fill up a bowl then collapse on the couch […]

Beef and broccoli stir fry is a popular Chinese dish. With its rich yet mild sauce it’s a great family-friendly meal. As per usual, I’ve snuck in a few extra veggies! I would use rump steak if you can. I know it’s quite a lot more effort than using pre-cut beef stir fry, but you’ll be rewarded with tender beef […]
